Additional information

Saint-Aignan, a small lordship on the Cher in the Orléanais, struck its own coinage during the fragmented feudal monetary order of the twelfth century, when dozens of minor lords exercised minting rights as both an economic tool and a marker of jurisdictional independence. The anonymous nature of this denier — carrying no lord's name — is characteristic of the region's issues during this period, making precise attribution reliant almost entirely on typological comparison against the Poey d'Avant corpus.
